We are thrilled to host the book launch for local lawyer (and now author) Robert Callahan, II to discuss his new book Fire in the Whole, on September 24th at 7PM!

About the Book:

Fire in the Whole explores the anger of Black Christians who feel betrayed by white Christianity’s complicity of perpetuating racism. In this transformative work, author Robert Callahan not only empathizes with this pain, giving words to strong and powerful emotions, but also provides guidance for healing church-related wounds.

How can all Christians claim to love and serve the same God and yet see and act in the world so differently? Texas attorney and writer Robert Callahan makes the case that white American Christians have failed to embody both their civic commitment to liberty and justice for all and their biblical call to love every neighbor as Christ loves us. In Fire in the Whole, Callahan explores the poignant journey of Christians who grapple with their sense of belonging within a faith tainted by toxic political ideologies—seeking healing for their souls. Boldly questioning the authenticity of individuals within the white Christian community who adhere to Christian nationalism or claim color-blind ignorance of racial injustice through cultural conflicts, this book navigates the complex modern Christian landscape, illuminating deep-rooted racial and religious rifts exacerbated by recent political figures and toxic theology.

Through compelling storytelling and analysis, Callahan provides meticulous research and heartfelt insights, drawing a roadmap for healing. Whether you are a Christian minority who is hurt and angry, a progressive white ally seeking understanding of what went wrong, or a conservative white Christian willing to engage in constructive dialogue to rebuild a fractured community, this book is a powerful guide to navigating the flames of righteous anger and emerging whole again.
